Investment philosophy
We believe high-yield bond markets exhibit inefficiencies that can be repeatedly exploited to generate alpha.
We are committed to ESG integration as we believe sustainability-related factors are one of the most important drivers of investment risk.
Investment process
Our High Yield Bond strategy follows a disciplined four-step process:
- Macro and credit outlook discussion
- Model portfolio definition
- Issuer analysis and selection
- Portfolio construction
Team and resources
Our Global Corporate Credit team, which includes high yield and investment grade credit, is based in Paris, London and New York. Christophe Auvity, who has more than 26 years of industry experience, leads the team.
